Brand new, never been on a horse, this M1859 Three Buckle Bridle is hand cut, hand dyed and hand sewn copy of the original issue U.S. Cavalry item used during the Civil War and into the Indian War period. Correct handware, top quality U.S. Bridle leather used through out. This bridle is stamped with the WATERVELIET ARSENAL stamp and inspected by A.D. Laidley, Ordnance Department Sub-inspector. No rosettes with this bridle, many arsenals completed and issued bridles with no rosettes, preferring to push equipment to the troops rather than wait on such additional parts. Reins are included and are the correct sew on variety. Shop around and check prices of hand done equipment from original items, compare, check my feedback, then bid with confidence. No more authentic, hand done equipment available at these prices.Most items ship next day via USPS. Combined shipping is available as this is a great compliment to the Halter, Lead Strap and Link Strap sold elsewhere. "THIS AIN'T NO MUSEUM, THIS STUFF IS FOR SALE!"
